Lewis was an undrafted CB out of Buffalo (the school) who joined Buffalo (the team) and has now stuck for 6 seasons. For the first four, he was almost exclusively a core special-teamer (4-16 tackles per year).
The 2024-2025 jump is dramatic: from 16 tackles in 2023 to 44 in 2024 and 39 in 2025, with PDs climbing in lockstep. He's now a legitimate sub-package starter in the Bills' secondary.

4 career forced fumbles — and on all 4 he recovered the ball himself once.

For a DB to produce 4 career forced fumbles is a real number — and Lewis has done it on tackles in space, including the 2024 Divisional Round at Baltimore where he punched out Tylan Wallace and recovered the ball himself at the BUF 47 to flip field position.
The Week 5 2025 punch-out on Antonio Gibson came on a kickoff return — a special-teams forced fumble, which is even rarer. He's one of the few DBs to log a FF on both scrimmage and ST in the same season.
His only career INT came in a goal-line stand against the Patriots — return ended at -1.
MilestoneLewis's lone career INT came in 2024 Week 16 vs the Patriots — a Drake Maye deep ball intended for Austin Hooper, picked off at the Buffalo -1 yard line. Touchback. It was the kind of play that doesn't show up on highlight reels but saves a touchdown: Hooper was about to score, and Lewis got there first.
His profile is a stat-line ball-hawk in coverage rather than a high-volume picker — 13 career PDs, 1 INT. The PDs are coming; the picks haven't followed yet.
In Buffalo's three deepest 2025 playoff games, he averaged 4.3 tackles — peak: 6 vs the Ravens.

In the Bills' Divisional Round win over the Ravens (Wk 20), Lewis logged a 6-tackle, 2-PD line — his single best statistical game of the year. That's not just snap-filler defense; that's a real impact line from a sub-package DB in the round that ended Lamar Jackson's season.
The trajectory says Lewis is the kind of bottom-of-roster contract that delivers in January: the same player who got 4 tackles in his entire 2020 rookie year now logs 6 in a Divisional Round playoff game.
6 seasons in the NFL, 0 sacks, 0 QB hits — pure cornerback profile, no blitz reps.

Lewis's career line shows a classic outside CB profile: he's never been deployed as a blitzer (0 career sacks, 0 QB hits) but he's a willing tackler (122 stops) and physical at the catch point (13 PDs, 4 FFs).
For an undrafted CB to log a 6-year career on the same defense, the niche role has to be specific, and Lewis's is clear: hand-on-ball tackler in the slot or as a 4th DB, not a blitz weapon.
